UnitTesting plugins?

Plug-in & Open API
1

Hello

I am developing a plugin for Visual Paradigm and I would like to develop some tests for it. I had in mind tests that would load a saved *.vpp file and unittest (with JUnit) some model transformations that I’m doing.

Is there a way to load a project using OpenAPI? I didn’t find a method to do that?

Regards,
Adam

Hi Adam,

Please try:
ApplicationManager.getProjectManager().openProject()
or
ApplicationManager.getProjectManager().openProject(File file);

The first one will show a filechooser. It returns true if the user selected a valid project file and the project is opened.

The second one will return true if the project is opened.

Best regards,
Jick

Yes but…
Is it possible, in a junit, to start an ApplicationManager: at this stage I can get it through ApplicationManager.instance() and this method returns NULL, wich is the expected behavior as I’m in a junit.
